Follow all prompts for tool changes.
13. Monitor the Machine During Operation
Monitor the machine during operation. Ensure there is no build-up of dust, debris, or fumes, and that nothing
works loose
. Do not reach into the machine’s working envelope or insert any object into it while the machine is
operating. If you attempt to open the protective door during machining, the job will pause and the spindle will stop
and park.

Once the job is complete, the spindle will automatically stop and return to its parked position. Remove the finished
piece. Remove any waste and vacuum the inside of the Nomad 3.
Store end mills carefully when not in use to protect the cutting edges. Collets and end mills should be cleaned when
they accumulate milling debris. The easiest way to clean end mills and collets is by dipping them into a suitable
solvent such as isopropyl alcohol. Make sure to let the alcohol complete evaporate before using again.
